Hi experts, I have one query regarding income from house property.

I have one person who has two houses in the same city, both properties having secured bank loans, and both EMI paid by the same person.

Property 1: Purchased on 26/01/2014 - 25,00,000 and EMI 18,000/- (total principle paid in year 24,000 and 192,000 paid in respect of interest)

Property 2: Purchased on 28/08/2022 - 65,00,000 and EMI 48,000/- (total principle paid in year 60,000 and 516,000 paid in respect of interest).

Now questions are:

1) Say, e.g. property 1 or 2 considers SOP, than other property interest can he be claimed as DLOP?

2) if yes, then how much

3) if not then how do you calculate his final house property income?

As per amendment, 2 properties can be claimed as SOP.

1. Yes, if the person has only one self-occupied property (SOP), then he can claim the interest paid on the other property as Deduction from Income from House Property (DLOP). However, the maximum limit for DLOP is Rs. 2 lakhs per financial year, even if the actual interest paid is higher than that.
2. The maximum limit for DLOP is Rs. 2 lakhs per financial year, even if the actual interest paid is higher than that. Therefore, the person can claim a maximum deduction of Rs. 2 lakhs for the interest paid on the other property.

3. If both the properties are considered let out, then the final income from house property can be calculated as follows:

Gross Annual Value (GAV) = Higher of (Expected Rent or Actual Rent Received) Less: Municipal Taxes Paid Net Annual Value (NAV) = GAV - Municipal Taxes Paid Deductions Allowed:

Standard Deduction @ 30% of NAV
Interest Paid on Home Loan Net Income from House Property = NAV - (Standard Deduction + Interest on Home Loan)
